The OpenFileDialog returns the full path of the selected file from its FileName property. Exactly how you then open that file is up to you. It's just a path in a String, so you can do whatever you like with it. If you just want a FileStream you can call the OpenFile method of the OpenFileDialogue. Otherwise it's up to you.
